This release features three suites for Violoncello by J. S. Bach, played by Gyöngy Erödi on a baroque violoncello in the incredible acoustics of a small chapel in the Austrian mountains. This is a very special and personal rendering of these iconic masterworks. Hungarian-born Gyöngy Erödi appears regularly as cellist/ principal/ continuo player throughout Europe, the British Isles and the United States. A versatile musician, Gyongy was trained in choir conducting, music theory and piano at the acclaimed Ferenc Liszt Conservatory in Budapest and moved to Germany to study modern violoncello with Annemarie Spengler, baroque cello with Jaap ter Linden and harpsichord with Glen Wilson at the Hochschule für Musik Würzburg. In 2005, she moved to the USA, to attain a double master degree in cello performance and musicology. She also plays the viol and her thesis introduces the sixteenth-century bass violin, the direct ancestor of the violoncello.
